Today I had a lot of fun! I unfortunately didn't go out on my own much at all but it's only my second full day here so I think it's okay... This morning my homestay father Tomo and I went to the grocery store and holy crap it's different! It smells very different to... I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing... Everything portion wise is ridiculously smaller than ours and just as expensive or even more sometimes. I'm glad to say I havent disliked anything I've eaten so far... But I've eaten less than I normally do which is probably a good thing haha. I think I'm only eating what I need rather than just eating because there's food around.
Kimi Airi and Miwa are the three cutest, nicest kids I've ever met! Mi-chan especially :)
Today we drove to Saitama (about an hour drive) to go to this plot in a field that the Nakamura family bought and picked soybeans together! I had so much fun! It reminded me of when I was little and picked green beans with my grandparents and neighbours. There were many bags filled! I ate some of them to later and they tasted all right but I cant eat too many of them due to my hypo thyroid issue. *I am so sorry but my camera batteries died, no pics!!!*
Yesterday however I forgot to mention that while I was walking around town exploring, the old woman ahead of me was looking back at me frantically and kept doing so for about 5 mins (there was only one street to follow). She was in her 60s I would guess and then out of no where she just booked it! I mean like in a full sprint! I was so amazed at her speed that it took me a few seconds to realize that I scared the crap out of an old woman enough to make her sprint for her life. Needless to say I laughed! People in Kamagaya aren't really used to big scary white guys I guess...
Tomorrow is Kimiya's birthday so I am excited for that... I hope he likes Where is Waldo!
Until the next blog!
*Pic above is what I think the Japanese people think I look like sometimes... lol
